As of April 2013:
*Gates open at 6am and close at 10pm. *Adventure Pass/$5 charge is required each day, though you can buy them at the Visitor Center & Store/Café. *Parking is first come, first served and limited. So if you can carpool, please do so. *There is no running water on site, though I’ve been told there is a spigot by the Visitor Center *Grills (which use charcoal) and fire rings (which use wood) CAN BE USED! *There is no reserving but we will be camping in one of the rings of A/B/C, though I’m not sure which one until I get there. The Picnic Area, where much of the game will be played, is not available for camping and grill/fire ring. *There are bears in the area. There always have been. Campaigners have seen them. DO NOT FEAR. Best to keep food locked in cars during the evening and weapons inside tents. Think of this as a REALLY GOOD reason to police our camps at night.to check them out. * Crystal Lake Café (https://www.facebook.com/crystallakecafe?fref=ts)... In case you want to check them out.
